Tom Waits is 'Real Gone'

Just this week on October 5th, Tom Waits released his newest musical effort. The 15-track record, entitled 'Real Gone', is being release through Anti Records. To support the new release, Waits is set to play a few dates in North America. The Californian singer will play only two dates in Canada, both taking place in Vancouver.

With the release of 'Real Gone' this week, Waits' reached the hallmark of his twentieth studio album. This is the first time the singer/songwriter hasn't had piano featured in his music, instead opting for a more rhythm driven album, yet again reinventing himself. 'Real Gone' is the follow up to 2002's 'Blood Money'.

The legendary blues-rocker that is Tom Waits first appeared on the scene in the early 1970s. Waits' debut album came in the form of 1973's 'Closing Time', when he was a scant 24 years old. His unmistakable gravely voice has won him hits with songs like 'Downtown Train' and 'Martha', and continues to draw fans.
